To curb the spread of COVID-19, Indonesia instituted the same approach. The covid pandemic has changed the education landscape in the form of a change from face-to-face methods to e-learning. The research aims to determine how students deal with or respond to changes in thesis guidance patterns. The research was conducted from the period September-December 2021 at a public university in Bandung, using a survey method of 220 students who, in March 2020-August 2021, had completed their theses. The results showed that one of the biggest obstacles was unstable internet infrastructure in several geographic locations and student adaptation in the face of changes in mentoring methods. The study found that most students could accept changes in the pattern of thesis guidance and were very enthusiastic about it. A SWOT analysis of the changes, hoping lecturers will feel more confident in guiding students to complete their undergraduate theses amidst the covid-19 pandemic.
